What Is A "Prosthodontist"?

A prosthodontist specialises in cosmetic, restorative and implant dentistry. The combination of a prosthodontist with periodontal therapy skills set The Rescue dentist apart from the local general dental practitioners in Whangarei. The rescue dentist uses the latest in 3d x-ray technology to plan and create accurate teeth templates for your dental implant placement, ensuring the best possible results.

The Rescue Dentist also offers ceramic crowns, and we can laser scan your teeth and create a new porcelain cap or veneer on the same day. Our high-speed precision milling machine cuts your new tooth from a solid block of ceramic. This unique ceramic crown technology has proved extremely useful for patients who struggle with dental impressions. The finished tooth is then cemented into place during the same appointment restoring your natural smile immediately.

In keeping with the current trend in dentistry, we also have undertaken significant training with the Australasian Academy of Dentofacial aesthetics for skincare treatments. We can offer in-depth skincare advice, including skin rejuvenation, Dermal Needling, Chemical peels, Botox / Dysport and lip fillers. These are proving a popular addition. We are achieving stunning results.

Striving For Excellence In Dentistry

Dennis has always striven for excellence as a dentist. In competitive sports he won a gold medal at the South African Olympics in 1983.

To understand more about the level of excellence in dentistry that Dr Dennis Shepherd delivers, we need to understand a little about his background. In 1989 he graduated as a dentist from the University of Witwatersrand with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery in South Africa.

After graduating, Dennis spent a further three years of full-time study, gaining specialized knowledge, skill and training in the more demanding aspects of dentistry.

These learning techniques are not typically taught to general dentistry practitioners. This training allows Dennis to provide more complex dental treatment options to patients when they are needed.

Dennis also has a specialised interest in periodontal gum disease and has obtained postgraduate qualifications and training in treating gum disease.

Dennis worked at South Africa's Number 1 Military Hospital in Pretoria and private practice from 1990-1996 here; he gained experience treating patients who required comprehensive treatment.

In 1996 he immigrated to New Zealand and re-qualified with the New Zealand dental Qualification NZ DREX in 1998. Initially, he worked as a dentist for White Cross in Dargaville before opening the Rescue Dentist in Maunu, Whangarei. Here he obtained an additional postgraduate qualification in Periodontics, receiving a Diploma in Clinical Dentistry (Periodontics) in 2005. With these skills.
